How to choose a kitchen worktop: Laminate, wood, composite and granite

Not sure which material is right for your kitchen worktop? Watch presenter Laura Crombie put four of the most common materials – laminate, wood, composite (such as Corian) and granite – to the test. We take a sample of each kitchen worktop material and see how durable it is. See how each material copes with a chopping knife, bread knife, hot pain and beetroot stains. We also explain the pros and cons of each material, and how much they cost.

Leave us a comment and let us know which you pick!

    Hello, i have to choose a counter top for my kitchen. I want the best wood but i am not sure if is a good idea. The most people told me that id best to put granite than wood but some people told me that there are special wood for kitchen. If i put other material will change the whole designing.
